In a fortnight's time I'll be giving thees baskets over to begonias/lobelia etc. It always seems such a shame to bin the winter pansies etc that have occupied the baskets and pots over the colder months even if the ARE getting a bit leggy!
I'm always tempted to transfer them to un-used borders…. Does anyone else feel the same? If so, what do you do to save them?

I put mine in a big flowerpot underneath my rose – they’re flowering and looking lovely
I don’t throw them away, I plant them up in spare pots.
I see your liners have been pillaged by the birds for their nests too, I have the same problem!
I usually just stick them in an empty plastic pot and put them somewhere out of the way so they can keep flowering for as long as they like.
i swap them. the winter basket comes down and gets put on a table. still looking pretty. the summer basket goes up
Give them a good liquid feed and transfer to little gaps in border.
Transfer into plastic pots and put somewhere out of the way and mostly in the shade to use again next year.
I gave mine to the village flower group and they planted them in some council borders around the village
Plants still alive go into the garden
